“One thing that I thought stood out was the smaller lineup that we started with. They came out really moving the ball and shooting really impressively. They did a good job of shooting and getting a good look (at the basket) and making the extra pass.”

“I’m very pleased with Jawann McClellan from all stand points. I thought he really defended hard, challenged passes and he did a nice job all around.”

“Daniel Dillon came in and gave us a good lift. We didn’t give him as many minutes as we would have liked, partially because he iced down pretty early, but he did a nice job. Nic (Wise) did a much better job defensively than what he has been doing. He got into the guy really tightly which made it tough for (Victoria) to get their offense started.”

“We got a lot of guys minutes tonight, but we are getting to the point when we will be coming down with the numbers (of guys who will be playing).”

“Jordan Hill played really well, he gets up and down the court really well. He runs all the time and he does a good job of challenging shots in the basket area.”

“Marcus (Williams) came out Monday and didn’t favor (his hurt ankle) at all. It’s surprised me that he was able to move that well, but Miles (Simon) worked him out on Saturday and said that it didn’t look like he was favoring anything.”

“(On Kirk Walters) Two times up and down the court and he was ready for the cardiac care unit, I thought. But he hasn’t been able to do anything for over a month now because they have been very cautious about his concussion. I thought we would be able to go three to four minutes, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Some of it was nervous energy with finally getting to play, but it will take a while for him (to get back into shape).”

“I thought we moved the ball well tonight, and when we got the good looks we got the shots in.”

“It’s like we have three new shooters on the team [in Chase Budinger, Nic Wise and returnee Jawann McClellan].The shooters open up the lane for people to drive, and with everyone being unselfish it opens up shots for others.”
